Other Applications · Food production · Cultural Antiquities cataloging and publishing · Dental & orthodontic appliances · Cosmetic & Maxillofacial surgery · Machine Vision The Digitizer with camera like simplicity and refinement, Designed to excel in your Industrial Application CR-331C Your assurance of highly reliable data The CR-331C offers the highest level of accuracy and reliability among non-contact digitizers. It excels at accurate and highspeed measurement of a variety of objects. In fact, as evidence of its accuracy, we offer a test report * (by special order) that measures its performance against artifacts traceable to national standards organizations. [. . . ] KM offers a certification quantifying the VIVID's accuracy when measuring traceable artifacts. This service is of benefit to those who are implementing the ISO 9000 series of standards for quality assurance systems. Measures objects of every size. The CR-331C is provided with three interchangeable lenses that can accommodate measurement objects of various sizes and distances from the lens. A single scan is capable of capturing an angular field of view of approximately 10 square centimeters to 1 square meter. Automatic configuration of detailed settings The CR-331C incorporates the same automatic focus technology used in modern cameras. The optimal measurement distance is automatically detected through both passive and active AF (autofocus). In addition, the optimal laser intensity is obtained automatically through AE technology. The result is highly reliable measurements. Provides 24-bit color images for outstanding texture mapping. The CCD and RGB filter acquire rich, 24-bit full-color images. Since the acquired color images are on the same optical axis as the 3-D data, they can be used to create stunning, true-color models. Hardware High-speed scanning capability CR-331C is capable of capturing an object's shape and color in as little as 2. 5 seconds. Our proprietary CCD readout technology measures up to 300, 000 points at unsurpassed speed. When the subject is a moving object e. g. children, the human body and for other applications requiring higher speeds, an even faster mode is available that can complete a scan in a mere 0. 3 seconds. Reduces registration time by 66%! Automatic Alignment: Alignment of individual scans has been a challenging task for some. But no longer, Easy Alignment Tool has changed all that. Simply place one of Konica Minolta's proprietary color markers on or near the object to be measured. Now, scan the same object from a different perspective with enough overlap so that at least three of the same markers are included in the second scan. The new data is automatically registered (with coordinates aligned) with the previously scan. You can see what has been scanned and what has been missed, greatly reducing the time required for capture and post processing. EAT's takes the work out of the measurement of objects (Sample 1) that cannot be placed on a Rotary turn table, or objects (Sample 2) that require multiple measurements from varying points of view. · This software is an optional add-on to the Polygon Editing Tool. 1. 2 or higher.

The object is scanned by a plane of laser light coming from the VIVID's source aperture. The plane of light is swept across the field of view by a mirror, rotated by a precise galvanometer. [. . . ] This LASER light is reflected from the surface of the scanned object. Each scan line is observed by a single frame, captured by the CCD camera. The contour of the surface is derived from the shape of the image of each reflected scan line. The entire area is captured in 2. 5 seconds (0. 3 seconds in FAST mode), and the surface shape is converted to a lattice of over 300, 000 vertices (connected points). [. . . ]
